Actor and icon R. Lee Ermey a.ka.a “The Gunny” pictured above at the 2012 SHOT Show was fired by the insurance company GEICO recently. Ermey was in a really funny GEICO commercial but he has since been let go by the insurance giant supposedly over comments Ermey has made in the past over President Obama. According to Ermey, “If you’re a conservative in this town, you better watch out.”
Aren’t we all entitled to our opinions?

I GUESS ITS TIME FOR THE CONSERVITIVES TO FIGHT BACK. LET LIBS SUPPORT LIB BUSSINESSES
Given the specific features of the auto insurance market, R. Lee Ermey’s claim that GEICO fired him for anti-Obama comments raise a legitimate question about whether GEICO’s ultimate boss, Warren Buffett, is putting his political preferences ahead of his fiduciary duties to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders:
